Re: SEQ Rainbow Beach / Double Island Day Trip - Feb 26
Hello All
I went up that way on Saturday.
Cooloola Way is open even though there was still a 'road closed' sign where it starts at the Harry's Hut Y-junction. The Derm website shows it as open and we spoke to the local Ranger, Steve, who confirmed this.
The road was in pretty good condition with only 3 mud holes - the first and third were deeper than expected.
We crossed over the bridge at the Noosa River crossing instead over going down the bypass and through the river - it's probably doable but we were only a single vehicle and didn't want to risk getting stuck.
Once on the King Bore Track - East Firebreak (the western firebreak was closed) we had a lovely run all the way to the beach - no real challenges to speak of except for the dropkick coming back the wrong way on the one way track.
We spent a bit over an hour on the beach cooking lunch on the Weber Q and watching the world go by and then headed north and jumped onto the Freshwater Track. I haven't been on this before and it's a very picturesque drive. We did get stuck behind a recovery convoy of 3 vehicles and they let us through at the earliest opportunity (this was pretty close to the beach end - they would have had a loooong trip home.
Back onto the Rainbow-Tin Can road then a left turn onto a forestry road (name forgotten) west of the Cooloolola way entrance and back into Kin Kin and a mates place for a few well earned bears.
All in all it was a glorious day out with the 150 performing flawlessly - I hope you guys have a good as day as us next week.

No worries Daniel, we will catch up another time.
I checked the weather forecast for this Saturday and it will be fine. If anyone is unable to attend, can you please advise ASAP, so we can depart as per schedule without delay.
